Static, Pitot & AOA connected, Comm Antenna installed ( 4 hrs )
Connected Static (red), Pitot (white), & AOA (blue) lines to G3X at GSU 25 and to G5. (note: blue AOA line goes only to GSU 25). T fittings worked well. Next, enlarged holes at Comm antenna mount on bottom RH side of Fuse and F-00020 Doubler per Sect 55-05, Fig 1 and Sec 28-02. Mounted with 8-32 flathead SS screws. Comm antenna is Comant C1 122 whip, VHF Com 118-137 MHz, Serial # 556913. Also completed riveting second Joystick Boot w/ just delivered 8 more AACQ 4-3 rivets. Good progress today, plus this morning I attended EAA Chapter 129 breakfast where my friend Rick Olson displayed his just built RV-4. He's really enjoying every minute flying, w/ approx 6 hrs of 40 hr Phase 1 completed. Very impressive ! Congrats Rick !
